DCarp1231 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Washington really could’ve gotten away with keeping the WFT uniforms but swapping out the helmet for the new one. Instead they gave us mishmash trash. I want to like the new uniforms because Washington is my favorite team, but I really can’t. There’s some things within the set I want carried over whenever they change though. Like the “COMMANDERS” (sans lines) on the home jersey and “WASHINGTON” on the aways. I like the striping on the burgundy jersey as well. The diamond faux mesh could’ve been done a lot better. It’s fixable. For the things I hate, they could easily add stripes on the pants, the number font is junk, the heavy addition of black is atrocious. Especially the entire black alternate. They look like those non licensed knock off football toys in a dollar tree that are supposed to be the Steelers. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those helmets always needed a two-tone stripe to match the rest of the uniform. UVA made it work back in the day. There's no reason why Washington couldn't have done the same.

Ark Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I really liked WFT’s helmets. Not sure how they lucked into such a great design element that no one else in the NFL uses. And it makes sense that a team without a real logo uses player numbers as helmet logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing blue socks would’ve sent this matchup over the moon. What a shame. Still a good looking game. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The Jets green jerseys are closer to what the Eagles wore in the '80s-'95 than the Eagles new throwbacks are. Coulda just used that fabric and saved people lots of headaches. 3 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Was there not a universal brand for the league at the time? The first league-wide contract was with Reebok in 2002. Before that, each team chose their own uniform supplier, so you'll also see uniforms with marks of Puma, Wilson, Champion, Russel, Starter, Apex, Logo Athletic, and possibly others that I'm forgetting. They also only started putting brand logos on the sleeves in the late 80s. 56 minutes ago, DCarp1231 said: The duality of man uniform nerds is praising the creamsicles from Tampa Bay’s worst era while simultaneously not giving the time of day to Tennessee’s (superior) silver helmet Oilers throwback from Tennessee/Houston’s worst era I think you were looking for the unpopular opinions thread. The vast majority of people would say that the Campbell/Moon era is the best that franchise has ever looked, and is in the conversation for best football uniform of all time. The silver helmet uniforms are nowhere near that level. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
